Abstract

In this paper, we study groups with various chain conditions on f-subnormal subgroups. A subgroup H of a group G is called f-subnormal in G if there is a finite chain of subgroups \(H=H_0\le H_1\le \cdots \le H_n=G \), such that either \(|H_{i+1}: H_i|\) is finite or \(H_i\) is normal in \(H_{i+1}\), for \(0\le i\le n-1\).
